In January 2016, branded Platinum buses were deployed on the route. They were the first in Aberdeen to include USB chargers.[2][1]
On 3 July 2022, the route was altered to use Links Road instead of Park Street and to call at the Beach Retail Park, following the rerouting of route 15.[3][4] The route was also extended during evenings and weekends to terminate at Hillhead of Seaton.[5]
From 6 November 2022, a diversion to Footdee was added for four journeys in each direction on a six month trial basis.[6][7] Footdee had been left with no bus service following the rerouting of service 15 in July.
